The media continues to focus ALL of their coverage on the ISRAEL attack on GAZA while totally overlooking what has happened to the children of IRAQ since PRESIDENT BUSH and VICE PRESIDENT CHENEY took it upon themselves to invade and occupy IRAQ all in the name of creating a democracy when everyone knows it was for oil.In all, 300 PALESTINIANS have been killed in ISRAEL air strikes on GAZA and only TWO Israeli civilians have been killed.Contrast that to what has happened in IRAQ where estimates range as high as ONE MILLION IRAQIS killed since 2003 when the U.S. invaded IRAQ. The bulk of the injuries in IRAQ are to innocent IRAQI children as this VIDEO so clearly points out. In our opinion it is a journalistic crime how the mainstream media in the UNITED STATES devotes so much attention to the ISRAEL incursion into GAZA while totally abandoning what has taken place in IRAQ since the U.S. invaded IRAQ. The media brushes aside any coverage of the IRAQ and AFGHANISTAN wars by calling it "fatigue" on the part of the American public, but in reality it is because many news organizations have pulled their reporters out of IRAQ and AFGHANISTAN to focus on the ISRAEL and GAZA battle. The VIDEO we are posting here is not for the squeamish and we warn you the scenes of these mutilated bodies of young IRAQI children can be very hard to take.Nowhere on the internet, and most certainly in the mainstream media in the UNITED STATES, will you EVER see a VIDEO like this.
